Blink And Weezer Show Is Awesome Nostalgia

By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) August 24, 2009 2:58 pm
Nothing could have set the scene better for this glorious jaunt down memory lane with a sold-out crowd of 16,000 people to the front of me, a couple good friends at my side and the brilliant lights from the Canadian National Exhibition to the right. Chester French opened with a mediocre performance despite the fact their usual two-piece was...

Waking Eyes Play Weezer

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) February 11, 2009 5:30 pm
I couldn't believe the crowd that gathered for a Weezer tribute show on a Tuesday night. But as the evening went on, a few things became a little clearer: a) The Waking Eyes love Weezer's Blue Album; b) Weezer fans love other Weezer fans; and c) You can't really go wrong for a five-buck cover. The show started at 10 p.m. with comical MC Serb...

Weezer Make People Happy

By Jen White (CHARTattack) October 1, 2008 1:29 pm
When I first heard about the opening bands for Weezer's current tour, I was excited for Tokyo Police Club and very confused about Angels & Airwaves. (One of these things is not like the other…) A lot of other people were, too. The Air Canada Centre was half-empty when I got to my seat around 8:30 p.m., just before Angels & Airwaves took...

Weezer — Weezer

By Jen White (CHARTattack) June 10, 2008 4:28 pm
Dear Weezer, Why do you feel the need to keep insulting me album after album? I guess it's my fault for holding out hope that you'll return to the genius of your first self-titled album, the good ol' Blue Album, and your true bleeding heart gem, Pinkerton. You've been going astray for so long, and yet us diehards have stuck by your side, waiting...

Pixies And Weezer Bring Rock Assault To Toronto

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) July 11, 2005 4:00 pm
A few years ago the idea of Weezer opening for The Pixies would have caused blank stares and serious ridicule. With The Pixies broken up and Weezer selling millions of albums, hipsters could only dream of this bill. However, no one counted on The Pixies reuniting. Although it's not the perfect show anymore, seeing Weezer open for The Pixies...

Weezer — Make Believe

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) May 10, 2005 12:08 pm
You're only as good as your last album. It's a familiar adage that Weezer should pay attention to — until the band release their next record, people are going to wonder what the hell happened to their lovable quirky power-pop foursome. Actually, people have been scratching their heads since The Green Album and Maladroit, but have been willing to...

The Special Goodness — Land, Air, Sea

in
By Andy Lee (CHARTattack) January 20, 2004 10:46 am
Tired of relative obscurity behind his drum kit, Weezer’s Pat Wilson swaps positions and instruments as the frontman for The Special Goodness. Longtime buddy Atom Willard picks up the drumsticks on Land, Air, Sea, a collection of 12 power-pop songs that bear more than a passing resemblance to the mighty W. Wilson plays it safe by not venturing too...

Weezer — Maladroit

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) May 14, 2002 12:09 pm
Apparently Weezer’s even-numbered, properly titled albums will forever be under-appreciated (albeit later acclaimed) by the masses. With Maladroit, we find a ho-hum affair that will only find a real home with the sweater vests, ‘cause it certainly isn’t as accessible as last year’s Green Album. But this is nothing new. If y’all will think back a...

The Drums are back with a sophomore album called Portamento on Sept. 13. Regardless of what it'll sound like, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire will probably still say there's "no soul in that band." The third in Radiohead's series of 12-inch vinyl remixes of tunes from this year's The King Of Limbs is out "in two weeks." Yeah, there's no...

There have probably been times when you've attended a festival with multiple stages and acts have been playing at the same time. That obviously creates a scheduling conflict for some people, as they get torn up over which act they should see. Let's say you're going to a festival this summer that features both Weezer and The Flaming Lips — but...

The Chart Time Tunnel: Weezer's Inconsistent Chart History

The Chart Time Tunnel looks back at the campus radio Top 50 chart for the week exactly a decade ago. Ten years ago this week, Radiohead's Amnesiac continued to dominate the charts, and held the #1 position for its third week. Rufus Wainwright's Poses, a former #1 album, experienced a resurgence in popularity, rising five places to #2. It pushed...

Two New Weezer Pinkerton-Era Songs Surface

By Michelle McGlynn (CHARTattack) April 15, 2011 1:02 pm
Worshipped by fans, loathed by Rivers Cuomo, and what has been regarded as one of the greatest break-up albums of all-time, Weezer's Pinkerton is the album that just keeps on giving. The deluxe edition of Pinkerton was released last fall, containing just about all the Weezer B-sides and live rarities a fan permanently stuck in 1996 could ever want...

Weezer — Death To False Metal

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 5, 2010 1:52 pm
If you think about it, it's pretty fitting that Death To False Metal, Weezer's first compilation of unreleased material, is being released as part of the deluxe edition of Weezer's Pinkerton. A lot of its tunes sound like they'd fit nicely on 2002's Maladroit and 2005's Make Believe. Sure, songs like the bouncy "I Don't Want Your Loving" sound...
